Which type of grease for a wheel bearing?
That's it really. My bearing kit did not have any included and I'm sure I shouldn't use my big tub of 'standard'
grease. Should it be a high temperature spec?
Thanks in advance

I guess it'll depend on which hubs you've got 
this stuff for most of the hubs I've ever done (inc. sierra ones)
(you can get in halfords and similar places if you don't want to wait on the postman)

Yeah, I think this is the stuff I used too when I asked this about 8 years ago!
Worth making sure you get a type that contains Molybdenum (although I can't remember why now!  ).
Cheers,

LM is lithium moly grease, you can use it for just about anything that moves except brakes. You only need a smear on the rollers, don't overdo
it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
